Meet Andy

For the last 5 years, I have been finding ways to create more inclusive spaces for people with marginalizing experiences to receive personalized care. 

 

In my first year as a massage therapist, I designed and facilitated a training to the staff on gender inclusivity, and meeting the needs of clients who bind in particular with a "binding wellness massage offering". 

 

In my second year as a massage therapist, I took the leap to full-time self-employment under the name Triangle Wellness Collective, so that I could offer a massage experience where I am able to offer a personalized healing environment to clients of any size, gender, or neurotype.  I also started the Help the Helpers Program, where I grant and individual donation supported massage services to community organizers working towards trans liberation.  

​

I have also been involved in the community in several other ways, such as through my own community organizing through my performance persona Simon Saize, serving as a helpline volunteer, Somatic Healing Coordinator, and STARLING Healer through St. Louis Queer+ Support Helpline.
